In New Orleans where jazz bands play until the first light of dawn, murder doesn’t sleep either.

The legend of Voodoo Lucy begins when twenty-eight-year-old Lucinda (Lucy) Jones leaves Tupelo, Mississippi and her alcoholic, abusive, father behind to start a new life in New Orleans. Having long gotten through life by running small-time cons, Lucy dreams up a profitable voodoo-laced scam that soon finds her running afoul of a criminal gang boss and his crew. When she dares to testify against a killer, Lucy’s life starts to spiral out of control. With friends on both sides of the law and a drug gang who wants her dead, can Lucy scheme her way out of danger and into the life she’s always dreamed of?
